Edwards  was  one  of  fifteen  Tribal  Leaders  chosen  to  lead  the  orientation  sessions.  The  Admissions 
and  Student  Life  departments  teamed  up  to  create  eight  summer  sessions  instead  of  the  usual 
orientation  during  Welcome  Weekend.  Administrators  hoped  the  sessions  would  increase  student 
retention  and  campus  involvement.  The  sessions  combined  advising  and  registration  with  programs 
on  financial  aid,  newly  found  freedom,  classroom  success  and  developing  school  spirit.

Whether  reserved,  frivolous,  wacky  or  genuinely

Lining  up  in  order  of  age, 
Tribal  Leaders  participate 
in  a  team-building  exercise. 
During  training,  the  staff 
used  the  exercises  to  help 
create  closeness  within  the 
group.  "The  Tribal  Leaders 
became  some  of  my  best 
friends,"  said  junior  Daniel 
Dye.  "It's  amazing  how  such 
a  diverse  group  of  people 
got  along  so  well."  Photo

allowed  freshmen  to  learn 
and  ask  questions  about 
residence  halls,  tuition  and 
campus  jobs.  The  orientation 
planning  committee  felt  that 
incoming  students  would 
relate  to  the  Tribal  Leaders 
better  than  adult

In  a  special  session  with 
fellow  Greek  members, 
students  take  notes  on 
important  Greek  policies. 
Speakers  stressed  risk 
management.  "The  easiest 
way  to  avoid  trouble  is  to  be 
informed  on  how  to  avoid 
bad  situations,"  Richard 
Harris,  Greek  Life  graduate 
assistant,  said.  Photo  courtesy

Staff  members  of  Greek  101 
take  a  break  between 
sessions.  Members  from  the 
nine  IFC  fraternities  and  five 
NPC  sororities  were 
represented.  "Greek  101 
helps  students  adapt  to 
college  as  a  member  of  a 
Greek  organization,"  Reid 
Grigsby,  KA,  said.  Photo

sICi THE  RECORDS 


A  record 
9-game 

winning  streak 
set  the  tone  for 
the  third  best 
win  total  in 
school  history 

Squaring  around,  senior  Jeremy 
Marple  attempts  a  sacrifice  bunt. 
The  team  used  their  versatile 
hitting  attack  to  set  the  school  mark 
for  team  batting  average  at  .296. 
The  old  record  had  stood  for  41 
years  at  .294.  Photo  courtesy  ASU

With  a  quick  dive,  outfielder  Todd 
Rhoades  slides  head-first  back  into 
the  base.  Rhoades,  a  senior  from 
Mayflower,  batted  .328  on  the  season 
with  5  home  runs  and  32  RBI's. 
Rhoades  was  second  on  the  team 
with  17  doubles  and  second  in 
fielding  percentage,  committing  only 
one  error  on  the  year.  Photo  courtesy  of

BEGINNING  THE  CLIME 


Out  with  the

the  new;  Joe 
Hollis  brings  a 
Big  10"  style 
to  town 


After  a  touchdown,  Defensive  Line 
Coach  Scott  Durham  makes  a  quick 
adjustment  before  the  defense  takes 
the  field.  The  Indians  recovered  15 
fumbles  and  picked  off  7  passes  in  a 
season  that  saw  the  defense  improve 
toward  the  end  of  the  end  of  the 
campaign.  The  defensive  line  will 
return  all  four  starters  in  1998.  Photo

Motivating  his  team,  Assistant 
Coach  Barry  Wilson  runs  over  the 
game  plan  with  the  offense.  In  his 
first  year,  Wilson  made  a  significant 
impact  on  the  young  Indians' 
experienced  offensive  line.  Wilson's 
coaching  experience  included  a  three 
year  stint  at  Iowa  St.  in  which  the 
Cyclones  ranked  11th  in  the  nation 
in  rushing  in  1993.  Wilson  was  voted 
SEC  Assistant  Coach  of  the  Year  in 
1980.  Photo  by  Shaila  Dailey. 


Trailing  the  ball  carrier,  senior 
Alfonzo  Peoples  drags  the  UCA 
running  back  down  for  a  loss  on  the 
play.  The  defense  faced  some  of  the 
top  ranked  offenses  in  the  nation 
and  gained  experience  which  led  to 
their  resurgence  at  the  end  of  the 
year.  The  non-conference  schedule 
served  as  a  necessary  wake-up  call 
to  prepare  the  Tribe  for  the  jump  to 
the  Big  West  Conference.  Photo  by

Not  at  all  fooled  by  the  draw  play, 
senior  Lavell  Alexander  makes  a 
thundering  hit  on  the  SW  Missouri 
State  halfback.  In  their  last  two  games 
against  SWMS  and  Alabama- 
Birmingham,  the  Indians'  runing 
defense  made  a  dramatic 
improvement  and  held  the  teams  to 
27  and  13  points,  respectively.  The 
Tribe  defeated  SWMS  35  -27  and  lost 
a  tight  battle  against  UAB,  13-7.  Photo

Alfonzo  Peoples  at  the  strong  safety  position.  The  team's 
experienced  secondary  returned  two  starters  in  Chappell 
Mitchell  and  Cornelius  Cleary.  Photo  by  Heather  Hankins 


Quick  off  the  line,  the  Indians 
prepare  to  march  the  ball  down  the 
field  against  UCA.  Exactly  29,465 
fans  made  the  trip  to  Jonesboro  to 
see  the  in-state  rivalry  which  began 
in  1916.  The  attendance  broke  the 
old  mark  of  25,112  which  was  set 
during  last  year's  contest  with  UCA. 
The  Indians  defeated  the  Bears  36-

season.  After  the  graduation  of 
Austin  Tinsley ,  Couch  and  teammate

Overpowering  the  opponent's 
linemen,  the  defensive  line  rushes 
the  quarterback.  The  season  record 
of  2-9  left  room  for  improvement 
in  the  beginning  of  Hollis'  new 
era.  A  good  recruiting  season 
made  the  1998  season  look

THE  GAME 


The  three  point 
arc  adds  a  new 
dimension  to  a 
traditionally 
defensive- 
oriented  team. 


Pulling  from  the  paint,  junior  Freddy 
Hicks  adds  to  the  Indians'  lead. 
Through  13  games,  the  team 
outscored  its  opponents  by  an 
average  of  5.1  points  per  game  and 
outshot  them  from  both  the  floor 
and  the  free  throw  line.  The  team 
shot  26-31  from  the  charity  stripe 
against  South  Alabama,  including 
11-12  in  OT,  which  saw  them  take  a 
commanding  lead  and  win  the  game 
82-66.  Photo  by  Jennifer  Freeman. 


Grabbing  a  quick  breather,  junior 
college  transfer  Eric  Beatty  sinks  the 
front  end  of  a  one-and-one.  Beatty,  a 
6-8  junior  from  Okmulgee,  Okla., 
made  an  immediate  impact  in  both 
the  defensive  and  rebounding 
departments.  The  defense  had  one  of 
its  most  successful  games  early  in  the 
season  when  they  swallowed  up 
Centenary  and  forced  24  turnovers 
on  their  way  to  a  62-58  victory.  Photo 
by  Jennifer  Freeman. 


Breaking  down  the  defender,  senior 
Micah  Marsh  looks  to  pass  off 
inside.  Marsh,  a  6-0  shooting  guard 
from  Alcoa,  Tenn.,  saw  his  point 
production  jump  from  10.9  points 
per  game  last  year  to  16.3  ppg  at  the 
beginning  of  this  season,  which 
included  a  25  point  barrage  against 
South  Alabama.  Photo  by  Jennifer

ING  THE  TEAM 


The  Lady 
Indians  use  a 
balanced  attack 
to  storm 
through  the  Sun 
Belt. 


With  a  bit  of  coaching  from  the 
bench,  the  Lady  Indians  prepare  to 
take  the  court  against  TCU.  The  team 
used  17  points  from  junior  Shundra 
Smith  and  10  rebounds  from  senior 
Amy  Towne  to  defeat  the  Lady 
Horned  Frogs,  91-72.  The  crowd  of 
3,742  was  the  largest  Lay  Indian 
home  crowd  of  the  season.  Photo  by 
Jennifer  Freeman. 


With  teammate  Brandi  Muirhead 
watching,  center  Jimmisa  Chatman 
puts  the  Lady  Indians  up  by  two 
against  the  Lady  Techsters  and  played 
aggressively  on  defense  to  make  up 
for  the  rebound  differential.  Going 
into  the  game,  the  team  had  out- 
rebounded  opponents  an  average  of 
44.2  rpg  to  42.7  rpg.  Photo  by  Jennifer 
Freeman. 


Looking  inside,  guard  Amy  Towne 
stops  before  pulling  up  for  a  short 
jumper.  Towne,  a  senior  from 
Hancock,  Iowa,  led  the  team  in 
scoring  with  a  15.1  scoring  average 
through  15  games.  Towne  scored  27 
ainst  UAPB  for  their  eighth  win  in 
row  at  home.  Photo  by  Jennifer

SPIKING  THE  ADVERSm 


Despite 
loosing  key 
players  to 
graduation,  the 
squad  begins  its 
own  tradition 


Up  off  the  floor,  sophomore  Beth 
Cochran  goes  one-on-one  against  a 
Louisiana  Tech  player.  Cochran,  a 
two  year  letterman,  led  the  team 
with  603  kills,  1 129  total  attacks,  and 
158  blocks.  "Her  work  ethic,  as  well 
as  everybody's  on  the  team,  has  been 
fabulous.  They  can  only  get  better," 
said  Coach  Craig  Cummings.  Plioto

Warming  up  before  a  game,  setter 
Nicole  Grimes  lofts  the  ball  to  a 
teammate.  Grimes,  a  two-year 
letterman  from  Louisville,  Ky.,  was 
the  pivotal  player  in  the  middle  for  a 
team  that  finished  21-12  during  the 
regular  season.  Their  6-3  conference 
mark  was  attributed  to  their  hard 
work  and  recruiting  efforts.  Photo

Slamming  a  shot  cross-court,  middle 
hitter  Beth  Cochran  scores.  Cochran, 
a  sophomore  from  Manteca,  Calif., 
assumed  a  leadership  role  this  season 
after  being  named  SBC  Freshman  of 
the  Year.  Cochran  along  with  Nicole 
Grimes,  Tracy  MacArthur  and 
Lindsay  White  were  the  only 
returning  players  from  last  year's  SBC 
Championship  team.  Photo  courtesy 
ASU  Sports  Information. 


Breaking  into  her  stance,  junior 
Tracy  MacArthur  awaits  the  serve. 
MacArthur,  a  setter  from  Jonesboro, 
was  the  defensive  specialist  for  a 
team  that  had  160  more  digs  than 
its  opponents.  "She  worked  really 
hard  with  passing  and  defense  and 
serving,  the  things  she  can  do  to 
help  the  team,"  coach  Craig 
Cummings.  Photo  courtesy  ASil 
Sports  Information. 

Leaping  in  the  air,  setter  Tracy 
MacArthur  celebrates  a  Lady 
Indian  victory  against  Mississippi. 
Coach  Craig  Cummings  had  to 
adjust  to  having  eight  freshman  on 
the  roster.  "We  had  some  good 
players  coming  in  and  we  had  some 
great  people  returning  and  the 
combination  made  a  nice  mix,"  said 
Cummings.  Plioto  courtesy  ASU 
Sports  Information. 


Charging  the  net,  outside  hitter  Lindsay  White  jumps  for  the 
block.  White,  a  junior  of  Jonesboro,  was  third  on  the  team 
with  64  blocks.  White  led  the  Lady  Indians  with  362  digs  at 
2.85  per  game.  Photo  courtesy  ASU  Sports  Information.

also  proficient  in  the  art  of  body

also  nice  to  come  back  down,  too,"

years.  "The  girls  are  always  willing 
to  help  off  the  court,  too,  when  it

said  advisor  Christie  McNeill,  who 
has  been  with  the  team  for  6  years.

fair.  The  Select- A-Major 
fair  was  held  on 
Wednesday,  October 
22,  1997,  in  the  Reng 
Center  ballroom.  The 
fair  was  sponsored  by 
the  Right  Start 
Program.  More  than 
578  participants  signed

Freshmen  students, 
who  had  yet  to  declare 
a  major,  inquire  about 
the  general  course 
requirements  in 
various  colleges.  "We 
still  have  more  than 
1200  students  on 
campus  who  don't 
have  a  major,"  said 
Kathy  Masters,  director 
of  freshman  studies. 
We  are  trying  to  make

Bonding 

j$  mother  and  daughter  expand  their 
education  and  their  relationship 


Sharing  a  special 
moment,  Kathy  and 
Sarah  Humphrey  enjoy 
each  other's  company. 
Kathy  began  college  in 
1981,  but  quit  so  she 
could  stay  home  with 
her  children  and  help 
her  husband,  assistant 
professor  of  agriculture 
education  Dr.  Kevin 
Humphrey,  through 
school.  "I  hesitated  to 
start  back  to  school," 
Kathy  said,  "but  Sarah 
encouraged  me."  Photo 
courtesy  of  Kathy 
Humphrey. 


Senior  Sarah 
Humphrey  is  headed 
for  a  career  in  the 
communications  field. 
While  in  school,  she 
was  president  of  Chi 
Alpha  for  two  years, 
president  of  Sullivan  & 
Associates,  a  member  of 
PRSSA  and  Kappa  Tau 
Alpha.  "  She's  my  best 
friend,"  said  Sarah 
about  her  mother.  "I'm 
so  proud  of  her  for 
going  back  to  school."

Kathy  and  Sarah 
Humphrey,  of 
Jonesboro,  enjoy  a 
close  mother-daughter 
relationship.  The  duo 
started  to  school 
together  in  1994,  and 
will  both  graduate  in 
May.  While  they  took 
many  core  curriculum 
classes  together  as 
freshmen,  their 
differing  majors  have 
taken  them  onto 
separate  paths.  Photo

Humphrey. 


Sarah  and  Kathy 
experience  life  in  the 
outdoors.  "For  me, 
being  in  school  with  my 
daughter  has  been 
great,"  said  Kathy 
Humphrey,  a  senior 
communicative 
disorders  major.  "We 
just  have  so  much  fun 
together.  We  never 
competed  with  each 
other;  we  challenged 
each  other."  Photo

Identifying  different 
locations  on  the  map, 
Takayuki  Noguchi 
expresses  international 
concerns  involving  the 
Persian  Gulf  area.  In 
Model  UN,  each 
student  served  as  an 
ambassador  from 
another  country-  Some 
students  represented 
the  same  country,  but 
served  on  different 
committees.  This  gave 
the  participants  the 
opportunity  to  become 
experts  on  specific 
areas  of  policy  from 
various  countries.  Plioto

Will  Sample,  secretary 
general  for  Model  UN,

most  popular  way  to  study

Russell  of  Alma 
prepares  the  final 
details  of  her  statistics 
project.  "Asa  freshman, 
studying  seemed  pretty 
easy.  However,  the 
longer  that  I  have  been 
here,  the  harder  it 
seems  to  get.  Hopefully, 
it  will  pay  off  in  the  long 
run,"  said  Russell,  a

Last  minute  studying 
was  a  common  practice

test  preparation  and 
projects  to  homework 
and  research  papers,

Junior  Nicky  Nixon  of 
Pine  Bluff  and  senior

LaGrange,  Ga.,  cram  for 
a  test.  "I  really  like  to 
study  with  my 
fraternity  brothers,  but 
I  usually  have  to  cram 
at  the  last  minute 
because  we  spend  too 
much  time  goofing  off 
instead  of  studying," 
Nixon  said.  Photo  by

A  student  crosses 
Aggie  between  Wilson 
Hall  and  the  Reng 
Center.  This  parking 
area  was  reserved  for 
faculty  and  staff  during 
the  daytime  business 
hours.  Many  students 
complained  that 
parking  fines  were  too 
high.  Tickets  were  $20 
for  the  first  violation, 
$30  for  the  second  and 
$35  for  each  additional 
ticket.  Photo  by  Shaila

PARKING  ONLY 

7:30  A.M.- 4:30  PM. 

Several  new  parking 
lots  help  alleviate  the 
alleged  parking 
problems.  Reserved 
spots  in  the  parking  lot 
near  the  Business 
building  sold  for  $200 
in  August.  Spaces  in 
the  newer  lot  near  the 
Fine  Arts  building  sold 
for  $120.  Because  the 
lot  was  opened  in 
Jaunary,  the  fee  was 
pro-rated.  Photo  by

The  road  behind  the 
Reng  Center  is  now  two 
way  to  help  divert 
some  of  the  traffic  flow 
from  the  front  of  the 
building.  Aggie  Road 
was  closed  to  traffic  in 
the  block  between  the 
Reng  Center  and 
Wilson  Hall  to  help 
make  campus  more 
user-friendly.  Because 
so  much  traffic  was 
re-routed  down  the 
narrow  stretch  of  road 
behind  the  Reng 
Center,  it  became  a 
dangerous  area  for 
pedestrians.  Photo  by

Several  new  stop  signs 
were  set  up  around

Agriculture  students  get  their  hands  dirty 
with  a  hands-on  barn-building  project 


Students  put  up  the 
framework  of  a  30'  X  60' 
pole  barn.  The  Basic 
Carpentry  /Structure 
course  offered  through 
the  College  of 
Agriculture  combined 
classroom  lectures  with 
hands-on  application. 
The  course  was  first 
offered  in  the  fall  of 
1993,  and  has  been  full 
each  time  it  has  been 
offered  since  then.  Photo

Students  use  safety- 
equipment  and  are 
well-versed  in  safety 
practices  before  they 
begin  construction. 
As  part  of  the  course, 
students  learned  to 
read  blueprints,  and 
estimated  an  entire 
structure  using  realistic 
bids  they  secured  from 
lumber  companies 
and  construction 
sources.  Photo  courtesy

Working  together,  agri 
students  complete  their 
project.  The  pole  barn, 
which  was  built  on  the 
farm,  was  used  for  the 
care  of  the  university's 
dairy  cattle.  "The 
students  built  it  from 
the  ground  up,"  said 
Dr.  Kevin  Humphrey, 
class  instructor.  Photo

The  class  met  twice  a

students  would  rotate 
the  responsibilities, 
learning  practical 
applications  of  layout, 
materials  handling,

Sometimes  we  don't  realize  the  value  of  our  education  or  the 

effort  put  in  by  those  who  are  continuously 

CPassing  on  tlie  DCnocufecfge. 

We  get  up,  put  on  a  hat,  manage  to  find  our  way  to  class  and 

stay  as  long  as  we  must.  We  don't  ever  stop  to  think  that 

their  is  so  much  that  we've  learned  and  still  so  much  that  we  don't 

know.  We  just  live  the  routine.  They  may  throw  an  occasional 

eraser  or  they  may  drop  us  a  letter  grade  for  missing  too  much 

class,  but  they  are  the  reason  we  will  one  day  have  knowledge  to  pass. 

The  knowledge  they  give  us  is  their 

Souvenirs 

that  we  will  carry  wherever  we  go.

together  during  the  holidays.  Many 
offices  had  monthly  parties  that  gave 
administrators  and  staff  members  a 
chance  to  relax  and  take  a  break  from 
their  usual  hectic  schedules.

Charles  M.  Joiner,  associate  professor  of  Sociology,  visits 
with  President  Wyatt  at  the  Christmas  Open  House  in  the

Excellence 


Economics  &  Decision 
Systems  instructor 
Ruby  Chittenden, 
advises  a  student.  Most 
faculty  members  taught 
a  full  course  load, 
conducted  research,  and 
did  community  service. 


As  sistant  Vice  President 
for  Administration  J.  W. 
Mason  listens  to  a 
presentation. 
Administrators  had  to 
wear  many  hats.  In  the 
course  of  a  day,  they 
could  move  from 
advising  a  student,  to 
preparing  a  grant 
proposal,  to  attending 
a  Board  of  Trustees 
meeting. 


Faculty  members  and  students  find  it  easy  to 
communicate  with  each  other.  Most  students 
felt  very  comfortable  approaching  their 
instructors.  Faculty  members  were  available 
during  their  posted  office  hours  and  during 
class.  But  it  was  quite  common  to  see  faculty 
members  and  students  visiting  in  the  hallways 
and  on  the  sidewalks  that  crisscrossed 
campus.

The  Lighter  Side 


President  Les  Wyatt  visits  with 
Board  of  Trustee  member  Bill 
Phillips,  of  Conway.  The  President 
and  Board  members  enjoyed  visiting 
within  the  casual  atmosphere  of  a

and  staff  members 
worked  hard, 
but  they  played 
hard  too.

As  administrators  and  staff  look  on,  their  braver  counterparts  put  on 
a  show  at  the  Christmas  Open  House  at  the  Administration  building. 
Many  members  of  the  faculty,  staff,  and  administration  enjoyed  the  annual 
open  house. 

Dr.  Herman  Strickland,  University  College  dean,  and  Dr.  Calvin  Smith, 
professor  of  History,  join  in  the  Dr.  Martin  Luther  King,  Jr.  march. 
Faculty  and  staff  frequently  supported  student  activities.  They  were 
spotted  everywhere  from  Springfest  to  athletic  events,  to  pageants. 
Regardless  of  the  event,  the  message  students  got  was  that  their  faculty 
and  administrators  supported  them. 

Dr.  Mary  Lynn  Williamson,  vice-president  for  Student  Affairs,  offers 
remarks  at  the  Who's  Who  banquet.  Administrators  were  often  asked  to 
speak  at  university  and  community  functions.  They  greeted  students  at 
orientation  sessions,  spoke  at  Rotary  luncheons,  and  were  frequently 
sources  for  the  Herald  and  the  local  media.

The  75th  edition  of  the  Arkansas  State  University  Indian  was  printed  by  Jostens 
Printing  and  Publishing  Company,  4000  S.  Adams,  Topeka,  Kan.,  66601.  Mary  Nell 
Sparks  was  the  company  sales  representative  and  Anita  Burney  was  the  in-plant 
customer  service  representative. 

Photographs  were  taken  by  staff  photographers,  ASU  Sports  Information,  News 
and  Information  Services,  and  other  freelance  contributors.  Photos  were  processed  in 
the  Wal-Mart  photo  lab,  Jonesboro,  Ark.  Portraits  in  the  class  section  were  taken  by

The  press  run  for  the  1998  Indian  was  5,200  copies.  Flat  paper  stock  was  used.  The 
cover  was  designed  by  the  1998  staff  and  Jostens  Creative  Services.  The  cover  was 
matte  black  (480)  leather  with  a  mission  grain.  Silver  foil  was  used  on  the  design.  The 
1998  Indian  theme  "Souvenirs"  was  created  by  the  1998  Indian  staff. 

Caption  copy  was  9  point  Palatino  Normal  with  a  15  point  initial  letter  squeezed  70 
percent.  Headlines  were  set  in  various  styles  and  sizes. 

All  elements  were  typeset  using  the  Apple  Macintosh  Publishing  System. 


Jrom  l/ie  Cdiior 

It  was  a  very  tough  year.  Whoever  invented  the  word  overextended  had  me  in  mind 
at  the  time. 

As  the  editor  I  learned  more  about  people  and  (dare  I  say)  responsibility  than  I  ever 
thought  possible.  Although  I've  sprouted  my  first  grey  hairs,  I  can  honestly  say  it  has 
been  worth  it. 

I  think  I've  lived,  eaten  and  breathed  the  Indian  for  the  last  year,  but  luckily  I  never 
had  to  live,  eat  or  breathe  alone.  Several  people  deserve  a  word  of  appreciation. 

I'd  like  to  give  my  sincerest  and  heartfelt  thanks  to  the  small,  but  diligent  Indian 
staff.  To  Ashley,  what  a  Godsend  you  are  for  actually  enjoying  this  stuff!  Jamie  and 
Susanne,  how  did  we  ever  get  anything  done  except  gossip??  And  to  Steve,  can  you 
believe  we  didn't  kill  each  other?  I  know  now  that  having  made  it  through  this,  we 
will  be  best  friends  for  the  rest  of  our  lives.  Thank  you  all  so  much! 

I'd  also  like  to  mention  some  of  the  people  that  kept  me  sane  and  helped  me  through 
the  mental  tough  spots:  Ashley  E.,  Tara,  Candy,  Katie,  Darryl,  Drew,  Aaron,  Leah, 
Andrea,  Patrick,  J.  Winningham  and  all  of  my  Alpha  Gam  sisters—Thank  you!!  Also, 
a  special  thanks  to  my  family  for  missing  me  when  I  was  too  busy  too  call  and  to  Carla 
and  Jerry  for  everything. 

Thanks  to  everyone  in  the  Student  Life  and  Student  Activities  Board  offices  for  all 
the  understanding.  Another  HUGE  thanks  to  the  crew  over  in  Sports  Information  for 
answering  all  of  my  random  questions! 

Finally,  to  Patterson,  Doris  Wells  and  (maybe)  Polly,  thank  you  for  instilling  in  me  a 
love  for  yearbook.

A  Tribute  to  the  INDIAN 


ouvenirs.  We  all  collect  them.  We  all 
treasure  them.  For  75  years  the 
INDIAN  has  collected  Arkansas  State 
University's  treasures. 


On  the  pages  of  75  yearbooks  lies  our 
university's  story.  A  story  that  begins  in  the  early 
days  of  the  'Aggie  School"  and  continues  to  the 
reality  of  Arkansas  State  University.  A  story  that 
celebrates  the  university's  75th  anniversary 
Diamond  Jubilee,  and  the  INDIAN'S  75th  edition.  It 
is  a  long,  rich  story. 

Unfortunately,  the  story  has  many  chapters 
missing;  the  university  does  not  own  a  complete 
collection  of  yearbooks.  The  Dean  B.  Ellis  Library 
and  the  ASU  Museum  house  only  partial 
collections,  many  of  which  were  donated  by  alumni. 
The  earliest  editions  were  destroyed  in  the  1931 
Administration  building  fire. 

The  first  yearbook  at  Arkansas  State  was  the 
Yearling,  which  was  first  published  in  1921.  The 
1921  Yearling  was  more  than  162  pages  in  length, 
and  featured  many  candid  black  and  white 
photographs  of  students,  and  faculty. 

Included  in  the  pages  of  the  1921  Yearling  was 
a  listing  of  the  "Ten  Rules  That  All  New  Students 
Should  Follow  When  Entering  A  Career  at 
Jonesboro  Aggie."  Some  of  the  rules  were: 

•  Be  careful  to  place  your  gum  where  no  one  will 
mistake  it  for  theirs.  Such  would  be  unsanitary. 

•  Upon  entering  a  classroom  always  carve  your 
name  on  the  chairs  to  avoid  trouble  in  finding 
seats  later. 

•  Skip  classes  as  often  as  possible,  for  your 
teachers  get  as  tired  looking  at  you  as  you  do 
looking  at  them. 


The  book  displayed  individual  students' 
pictures,  sports  coverage,  and  features  about 
several  student 
groups,  much  like  the 
yearbook  of  today. 
Unlike  today's 
publication,  however, 
early  editions  of  the 
Yearling  contained 
essays  on  topics  such 
as  "Shall  I  Be  a 
Farmer?"  and  nearly 
a  third  of  the  book 
was  dedicated  to 
advertisements. 

The  Yearling  followed  much  this  same 
pattern  throughout  the  1920's  and  1930's.  Slight 
changes  were  made,  and  new  information,  such  as 
the  establishment  of  the  National  Guard  unit,  and 
the  construction  of  new  buildings  was  documented 
as  life  at  the  "Aggie  School"  continued. 

The  last  edition  of  the  Yearling  was  volume 
#13,  published  in  1933.  After  a  four-year  lapse, 
the  1937  senior  class  resurrected  the  yearbook. 
From  the  pages  of  the  1937  INDIAN  comes  the 
explanation: 


"The  dignity  of  seniors  came  in  the  fall  of 
1936.  We  climaxed  our  four  years  of  College 
by  successfully  promoting  the  revival  of  the 
Arkansas  State  College  Yearling,  which  was 
re-named  "The  Indian"  in  a  student-body 
poll,  as  more  in  keeping  with  the  present.  It 
was  the  first  time  in  four  years  that  the 
College  had  a  regular  annual.  As  we  leave  the 
halls  of  State  College  we  will  take  with  us 
treasured  memories,  many  of  which  are 
inculcated  in  our  greatest  contribution  to  its 
progress,  'The  1937 


Dr.  Tin  Boo  Yee,  was  part  of  that  historic 
1937  staff.  Yee,  who  was  Snapshots  Editor  for 
the  1937  and  1938  INDIAN  offered  insight  into 
the  method  of  staff  selection  during  this  time. 

"I  was  hired  because  I  was  the  only  student 
on  campus  with  an  old  second-hand  camera. 
The  kind  that  one  has  to  use  a  big  piece  of 
black  cloth  covering  one's  head  in  order  to 
see  the  view  on  the  grounded  glass." 

During  those  years  there  was  no  money  for 
a  yearbook  budget  so  all  the  students  volunteered 
their  time  and  talent. 

"The  cost  of  publishing  a  yearbook  was 
high,  and  everything  was  done  by  the 
INDIAN  staff  on  a  voluntary  basis,"  said 
former  staff  member  Laura  Beth  Plunkett 
Miller. 


Staff  members 
also  had  to  raise  their 
own  money  to  buy 
supplies. 

"In  order  to  get  a 
little  money  to 
buy  photographic 
materials,  I  sold 
pictures  to 
students,"  said 
Yee. 


Not  only  was  money  limited,  so  was  space. 


"We  did  not  even  have  a  darkroom,"  Yee 
said,  "so  I  had  to  use  the  closet  in  my  room 
in  the  dormitory.  The  closet  was  not  dark 
proof,  so  I  had  to  do  all  my  developing  at 
night." 


Along  with  the  yearbook's  new  name, 
came  a  new  image.  The  1937  INDIAN  reflected 
the  more  mature  college  audience  it  served.  The 
demure  coeds  of  the  early  years  were  replaced 
with  "Beauty  Queens,"  and  the  pages  included 
more  cartoons  and  jokes.  Notably,  the  1937 
INDIAN  was  also  dedicated  to  Senator  Hattie  W. 
Caraway,  "because  she  has  done  more  for  our 
College  than  any  other  single  individual." 

In  1941  the  INDIAN  changed  its  format  to 
something  more  similar  to  a  newspaper.  Each 

page  was  designed 
like  a  newspaper 
page,  and  the 
yearbook  itself  was 
divided  into  sections 
like  a  newspaper. 

But  World  War  II 
caused  an  even 
greater  change  for  the 
yearbook.  The  1941 
INDIAN  devoted 
many  pages  to  the 
coverage  of  students 
who  had  been  called  into  military  service,  and 
activities  of  the  ROTC  unit.  Virginia  Kirk,  1941 
INDIAN  staff  member,  recalled  that  the  1941 
yearbook  pictured  "long  ago  friends  who  were 
killed  in  World  War  II,"  including  many  former 
INDIAN  staff  members. 

According  to  Louie  N.  Rodgers,  business 
manager  for  the  1942  INDIAN,  "graduation  for 
the  senior  class  was  moved  up  three  weeks  to 
May  4,  1942  so  six  of  us  ROTC  senior  cadets, 
who  had  active  duty  orders,  could  graduate." 

From  1942-1946  the  INDIAN  was  not 
published  because  of  World  War  II.  Government 
restrictions  limited  paper  consumption  and  there 
were  very  few  students  on  campus.  Although 
work  on  the  1 942  INDIAN  began  before  the  war 
broke  out,  the  book  was  never  published. 
According  to  Rodgers, 


"We  could  not  get  firms  to  bid  on 
phases  of  the  work  for  the  reason  that  the 


country  was  then  in  great  turmoil  toward  full 
mobilization.  We  had  sold  a  great  number  of 
yearbooks  at  $3.00  each  and  a  few  ads  had 
been  sold.  All  of  that  money  was  refunded  in 
the  spring  of  1942,"  said  Rogers. 
The  INDIAN  resumed  publication  in  1947. 

During  the  1950s  the  INDIAN  continued 
to  grow  along  with  the  school.  The  yearbook  had 
long  been  typeset  and  printed  on  campus.  That 
era  closed  in  1951.  The  1951  INDIAN  was  the 
last  yearbook  printed  by  the  letteipress  process 
and  the  last  yearbook  printed  in  the  college 
printing  plant.  Although  the  type  was  still  set  on 
campus  in  the  printing  plant,  the  actual  printing 
was  contracted  out.  The  Hurley  Company,  Inc.,  of 
Camden,  Arkansas  was  chosen  to  print  the  1952 
INDIAN  and  many  subsequent  yearbooks  for 
Arkansas  State. 

A  big  mistake  caused  Hurley  to  lose  the 
account  in  the  mid-fifties.  Don  E.  Schaefer,  who 
was  on  the  INDIAN  staff  for  four  years,  and 
served  as  Editor  of  the  1 952  INDIAN,  worked  for 
The  Hurley  Company  after  he  was  graduated  from 
Arkansas  State.  "A  goof  in  the  press  work  for  the 
1956  INDIAN  resulted  in  a  few  signatures  [of 
photos  from  another  college  appearing  in  the 
student  section]  of  the  Arkansas  State  book.  The 
other  college  was  Arkansas  A,  M  &  N.  President 
Carl  Reng  was  furious  with  the  mistake."  The 
photographs  of  many,  many  Arkansas  State 
students  were  left  out 
of  the  1956  INDIAN. 
The  university  did  not 
renew  the  contract  with 
Hurley,  but  returned  to 
them  for  the  1958 
yearbook. 

Gradually, 
through  the  1950s 
the  INDIAN  began  to 
feature  more  illu- 
strations and  much 
fancier  covers.  The 

decade  culminated  with  the  1959  INDIAN,  the 
golden  anniversary  edition,  honoring  Arkansas 
State's  fiftieth  anniversary.  With  the  1959  issue, 


the  advertising  section  was  dropped.  The  1959 
INDIAN  used  extensive  color  and  featured  a 
large  section  of  photographs  depicting  changes 
which  took  place  on  campus  during  the  first  fifty 
years.  This  yearbook  also  reached  a  new  length 
of  265  pages. 

Throughout  INDIAN  history  staffs  have 
tried  changes  to  the  book,  such  as  dropping  the 
advertising  section. 

"My  most  innovative  decision,  as  Editor  of 
the  1960  INDIAN,  was  to  put  the  pictures  of 
graduating  seniors  under  the  departments 
from  which  they  were  receiving  their 
degrees,"  said  Charles  Long.  "Arkansas 
State  was  still  a  college,  and  I  thought  that 
this  would  help  us  to  look  like  a  university. 
It  was  obviously  not  well-received,  because 
the  seniors  were  put  back  into  one 
alphabetical  group  the  next  year,"  said  Long. 

By  1966,  the  INDIAN  had  grown  to  a  record 
328  pages.  Most  notably,  it  featured  a  16-page 
section  entitled  "A 
Growing  College  in  a 
Growing  State," 
which  included 
photographs,  a  map 
and  descriptive 
material  illustrating 
the  expansion  of 
Arkansas  State  since 
1959.  Of  special 
interest  in  this 
section  were  four 
graphs  showing 
the  expanding 

student  enrollment,  the  value  of  the  physical 
plant,  the  number  of  degrees  granted  by  years, 
and  the  growth  of  the  faculty.  According  to  "The 
ASU  Story,"  this  special  section  was  later 
reproduced  and  used  as  a  part  of  the  University 
Status  presentation  before  the  1967  General 
Assembly. 


/NO/ AN 


it  was  dated  July  1,  in  order  to  make  the 
designation  "university"  official.     A  special 

feature  section  was 
included  celebrating 
the  passage  of  the 
University  Status 
bill,  complete  with 
pictures  recording 
the  bill's  passage 
through  the  legis- 
lature, and  its 
endorsement  by 
Governor  Winthrop 
Rockefeller. 


The  1985  INDIAN  helped  celebrate  another 
milestone  in  the  university's  story  —  its  75th 
anniversary.  The  special  headline  read 
"75  Years  of  Teaching,  Research  and  Service." 
Four  pages  of  photographs  preserved  the  events 
and  personalities  of  the  Diamond  Jubilee 
celebrations. 

During  the  late  1980s  staff  members  began 
to  produce  the  INDIAN  on  computers.  Initially 
it  was  simple  word-processing.  Today,  the  entire 
yearbook  is  prepared  via  desktop  publishing. 
Ultimately,  the  INDIAN  will  be  totally 
electronically  paginated,  including  digital 
photography.  This  means  we  will  send  the  entire 
yearbook  to  the  printing  plant  on  a  few  small 
disks. 

The  1998  INDIAN  celebrates  the  75th 
edition  of  the  yearbook.  In  February  1998  the 
Board  of  Trustees  passed  a  resolution  to  increase 
the  yearbook  fee  to  $20.00  annually.  After  19 
years  with  no  fee  increase  and  increasingly 
tighter  budgets,  the  augmented  fee  ensures  that 
students  can  continue  recording  our  university's 
story  in  the  pages  of  a  yearbook  for  a  long  time. 

The  INDIAN  staff  still  has  years  of 
souvenirs  to  collect. 


The  1967  INDIAN  marked  the  first  edition 
of  a  yearbook  for  Arkansas  State  University. 
Although  it  was  distributed  in  May  of  that  year, 


The  Rest  of  the  Story 


INDIAN  staff  members  preserved  our 
school's  history  in  the  pages  of  75  yearbooks.  But 
there  is  much  more  they  couldn't  capture  within 
the  confines  of  a  book.  The  staff  ups  and  downs, 
the  tight  deadlines,  the  tough  decisions,  the 
perfect  photographs,  the  awkward  captions,  the 
goofs,  the  late  nights,  the  lasting  friendships,  the 
moment  they  knew  it  was  all  worth  it. 

The  Late  Nights 

"As  a  freshman,  one  night  my 
TKE  big  brother  and  I  stayed  up  all 
night  working  on  the  yearbook.  That 
was  my  first  time  ever  to  stay  up  all 
night.  After  that,  there  were  many 
late  nights  when  I  was  Editor.  The 
yearbook  office  was  in  the  basement 
of  R.E.  Lee  Wilson  Hall  on  the  south 
side.  The  building  was  locked  up  at 
night.  It  was  far  more  difficult  to  get 
out  of  the  locked  building  than  it  was 
to  get  in.  There  were  many  nights  that 
we  went  up  to  the  journalism 
classroom  on  the  second  floor  and 
crawled  out  a  window  onto  a  housing 
for  the  exhaust  fan  from  the  Wigwam 
kitchen  below  —  and  jumped  off  to 
the  ground."

"We  were  always  having  late 
evening  assignments.  But  the  trouble 
was,  the  Reng  Center  was  typically 
locked  up  at  10:00  p.m.  or  so.  So,  if 
we  knew  we  were  going  to  be  late  and 
there  was  not  going  to  be  any  way  to 
get  in  the  building  to  get  to  the  second 
floor  darkroom,  we  would  leave  the 
window  unlocked  into  the  yearbook 
room,  from  the  roof.  Then  after  the 
evening  assignment,  we  would  climb 
up  a  short  brick  wall  near  the 
southeast  entrance  near  the 
bookstore.  From  there,  all  we  had  to 
do  was  run  around  on  the  roof  to  the 


north  side  of  the  building,  and  climb 
in  the  yearbook  room  window." 


"I  could  tell  some  stories  about 
the  MANY,  MANY  "all  nighters  "  that 
I  had  in  the  darkroom,  trying  to  catch 
up  or  meet  a  deadline.  Lots  of  times 
I'd  get  to  the  Reng  Center  in  the  late 
afternoon,  and  leave  just  in  time  to  get 
a  shower  and  make  it  to  my  8:00  a.m. 
class.  I'd  like  to  say  the  quality  of  our 
work  never  suffered,  but  I  dare  not! "

"I  remember  completing  the 
whole  sports  section  for  the  1978 
yearbook  in  one  night.  We  were  in  the 
Sports  Information  office  (then 
located  under  the  bleachers  in  the  old 
fieldhouse)  until  4:00  a.m.!"  This 
was  before  computers,  so  headlines, 
copy  and  captions  were  typed  on 
forms  with  carbon  paper,  and  all 
photographs  were  cropped  the  'old 
fashioned  way'  with  a  proportion 
wheel."

The  Lasting  Friendships 

"Writing  copy  for  the  1960 
yearbook  was  fun  for  this 
English/Journalism  major.  Most 
importantly,  working  on  the  yearbook 
set  the  stage  for  Charles'  and  my 
courtship.  Many  evening  work 
sessions  ended  with  our  having 
hamburgers  at  Westpark  Restaurant. 
We  were  married  the  following  year."

The  Perfect  Photograph 


The  Goofs 


"In  1954  the  sororities  decided 
that  all  of  their  yearbook  pictures 
would  show  only  bare  shoulders. 
After  being  fixed  by  another  girl,  each 
one  came  into  the  studio  with  a  sheet 
attached  around  her  and  clothes- 
pinned  in  the  back.  One  girl  came  in 
and  sat  down  and  I  proceeded  to  get 
ready  to  take  her  picture.  The  studio 
and  darkroom  were  in  the  basement  of 
Barnhart  Hall,  an  old  building  with 
all  the  dirt,  bugs,  and  spiders.  I 
watched  as  a  spider  dropped  down 
from  the  ceiling  right  in  front  of  the 
girl's  eyes.  She  screamed!  Others 
rushed  in  from  outside,  thinking  her 
sheet  had  come  off.  I  was  mad  at 
myself  for  not  having  the  presence  of 
mind  to  snap  a  picture  at  the  meeting 
of  her  eyes  with  the  spider." 

"A  picture  I  remember  was  never- 
used  in  the  yearbook.  Former 
president  Harry  Truman  was  to  be  in 
the  Jonesboro  train  station  on  a 
layover.  I  was  sent  to  take  a  picture. 
I  now  have  quite  a  good  picture  of 
Harry  Truman  —  the  only  print  ever 
made  from  the  negative.  I  remember 
Truman  holding  his  hand  and  cane  so 
that  they  covered  a  small  hole  that 
had  apparently  been  burned  in  his 
trousers."

"The  yearbook  pictures  depict 
the  poodle  skirts  and  bobby  socks,  but 
they  don't  show  the  dedication  of 
teachers  and  seemingly  carefree 
students  going  on  to  responsible 
positions  and  community  leadership  ".

"...the  last  page  of  the  1981 
INDIAN  is  missing.  This  was  the  page 
saved  for  the  editor  to  give  final  thanks 
to  the  staff.  I  saved  this  page  for  the 
last  deadline  and  wrote  what  I  thought 
at  the  time  was  clever  copy.  1  dutifully 
thanked  everyone  and  felt  great  about 
wrapping  up  the  INDIAN  on  schedule. 
I  shipped  the  last  signatures  and 
sighed  relief.  I  was  very  surprised 
when  I  got  the  yearbooks  back  and  saw 
that  I  forgot  to  sign  my  name  to  the  last 
page.  No  one  knew  who  wrote  the 
clever  copy  or  served  as  the  editor  in 
1981.  OOPS!"

The  Moment  They  Knew  It  Was  All  Worth  It 

"A  special  celebration  hap- 
pened one  evening  as  staff  members 
hiked  up  the  walk  in  front  of  the  R.E. 
Lee  Wilson  building  after  meeting  a 
deadline.  We  finished  just  in  time  to 
view  a  striking  sunset  we  felt  was  there 
JUST  FOR  US.  A  sense  of  well-being 
and  great  comraderie  enveloped  us." 

—  Jo  Halbach 
1953  INDIAN  editor 

"After  many  years  of  reflection  I 
can  say  that  my  experience  on  the 
yearbook  staff  as  editor  and  photo- 
grapher had  a  more  profound  effect  on 
my  later  vocations  than  my  academic 
work  in  college." 

—  Don  Schaefer 
1952  INDIAN  Editor 

"As  a  member  of  the  INDIAN  staff 
I  learned  how  to  do  the  job  with  what  I 
had  on  my  hands.  This  has  a  lot  to  do 
with  my  success  throughout  my  life."

a  picture  postcard, 
a  folded  stub, 
a  program  of  the  play, 
file  away  the  photographs 
of  your  holiday. 

and  your  momentos 
will  turn  to  dust, 
but  that 's  the  price  you  pay. 
for  every  year  is  a  souvenir 
that  slowly  fades  away.
